At  a  time  when  the  usefulness  of  all  Verse  Com- 
position is   being   so   generally   questioned,  and 
schoolboys  are  beginning  to  speculate  upon  the 
possibility  of  passing  through  a  University  career 
without  any  knowledge  of  Greek,  it  may  be  con- 
sidered a  lost  labour  to  compile  an  Exercise  Book 
for  instruction  in  Greek  Iambics.     But  as  long  as 
the  works  of  the  Greek  Tragedians  live,  we  must 
hope  that  some  desire  will  survive  of  becoming 
familiar  with  the  language  in  which  they  wrote 
and  the  metre  in  which  the  thoughts  and  actions 
which  they  presented  to  their  Athenian  audience 
were  arranged:    and  this  familiarity  cannot  be 
attained  without  actually  handling  and  modelling 
the  material  to  which  they  gave  such  perfection 
of  form  and  such  vigour  of  life.     The  discipline 
by  which  this  study  is  to  be  matured  must  be  at 
first  more  or  less  mechanical,  and  the  student 
must  accustom  himself  to  the  manipulation  of 
words  and  phrases  into  the  requisite  shapeliness

of  metrical  form  and  rhythmical  balance,  before 
he  can  indulge  in  any  higher  aspiration  after  the 
ideal  of  poetic  art.  Therefore  the  Exercises  in 
this  book  are  intended  to  help  him  in  learning 
this  manipulation  ;  and  by  the  dissection  of  pieces 
already  translated  by  scholars  of  eminence,  to 
show  the  process  by  which  the  results  have  been 
attained. 

It  is  undoubtcoij  a  very  difficult  thing  to  find 
the  particular  Greek  word  or  phrase  by  which 
some  one  eL^e  has  intended  the  English  which  he 
considers  its  equivalent  to  be  rendered :  perhaps 
there  is  l)ut  one  thing  more  difficult,  and  that  is 
to  hit  upon  the  particular  English  word  or  phrase 
which  is  most  likely  to  be  rendered  by  the  Greek 
which  will  suit  the  occasion.  The  art  of  com- 
posing Greek  Verse,  however,  is  more  teachable, 
I  l>elieve,  tlmn  that  of  composini^-  I^atin;  and 
therefore  I  have  more  hope  of  the  possible  success 
of  this  book.  It  is  true  that  no  gocxl  English- 
Greek  Lexicon  exists:  but  the  struggling  com- 
poser will  be  all  the  more  benefits  by  the 
additional  trouble  involved  in  first  forcing  his 
memory  to  produce  some  word,  and  then  investi- 
gating its  fitness  in  a  Greek-English  Lexicon.  A 
Gradus,  in  Greek  Composition,  is  not  needed,  as

there  are  few,  if  any,  words  in  which  the  quantity 
of  any  syllable  is  not  after  a  very  brief  experience 
manifest  to  one  who  thoroughly  learns  a  few 
simple  rules  such  as  will  be  set  forth  in  the  Intro- 
ductory Remarks  to  these  Exercises. 

It  only  remains  for  me  to  express  my  grati- 
tude to  the  Rev.  F.  St.  John  Thackeray  and  J.  E. 
Sandys,  Esq.,  for  some  translations  of  theirs  which 
they  have  allowed  me  to  use ;  and  especially  to 
the  Rev.  H.  A.  Holden  for  the  numerous  extracts 
which  by  his  favour  I  have  made  from  his  '  Folia 
Silvulae;'  and  to  apologise  to  them  for  having 
mutilated  these  pieces  past  recognition,  in  the 
faint  hope  that  they  may  recover  some  slight 
resemblance  to  their  originally  elegant  form.

IN  THE  COMPOSITION  OF 


GEEEK   IAMBIC   VEESE 


INTRODUCTORY  REMARKS. 

It  is  presumed  that  the  student  of  Greek  Verse  Com- 
position who  iLses  tliis  book  will  be  ah-eady  familiar 
with  the  ordinary  rules  for  the  Rhythm  and  Csesuras 
of  the  Tmgic  Trimeter  Iambic,  and  have  had  some 
practice  in  applying  them.  A  few  remarks  on  Pro- 
sody and  Language,  however,  may  still  be  requisite,- 
or  at  least  not  supei^uous. 

I.  Quantity  of  Vowels.  - 

1.  €  and  0  before  single  consonants  ai*e,  of  course, 
always  short. 

2.  ij  and  ui  ai'e  always  long. 

3.  Diphthongs  are  always  long,  except  oi  in  the 

words  oToC,   TOLOVTO^,  TOlOfT^ty  TTOIW, 

4.  a,  «,  V,  before  single  consonants  are  more  fre- 
-  juently  short  than  long,  except  where  a  is  the  result 

.  of  a  contraction  or  crasis,  or  follows  p ;  or  where  v  is 
in  the  penultimate  syllable  of  the  futui*e  or  fii-st  aorist 
of  a  verb  with  a  vowel  stem.      But,  as  no  general

2  EXERCISES   IN    THE   COMPOSITION   OP 

mles  can  be  framecl  for  these  vowels,  their  quantity  in 
different  words  must  be  ascertained  by  experience. 
Befoi-e  vowels,  they  are  sometimes  long;  e.g.  a  in  such 
words  as  tcdu)  and  vXaw  (which  ai-e  Attic  forms  of  »:a/<ii 
and  K\ai(it) — i  in  Uwfiai  and  its  derivatives,  and  in 
aWa,  ai\-m,  icoWa,  IrifJ^^ — ^  ^  ^^'^f  ^^h  ^"*^pwto». 

5.  All  vowels  are  long  before 

(i.)  A  double  consonant. 

(ii.)  Two  liquid  consonants. 

(iii.)  Two  mute  consonants. 

(iv.)  <T  with  any  other  consonant. 

(v.)  A  liquid  followed  by  a  mute  consonant. 

(vi.)  /3/i,  flr,  yii,  y»',  h; 

6.  A  short  vowel  becomes  common  in  the  middle 
of  a  word,  before  all  other  combinations  of  two  conso- 
nants in  which  a  liquid  follows  a  mute ;  and  is  gene- 
rally lengthened  at  the  end  of  a  word,  when  it  is  also 
the  end  of  a  foot,  and  the  following  word  begins  with 
/3X,  y\,  or  p. 

II.  Elision. 

1.  Only  short  vowels  can  be  elided.  (There  are, 
however,  two  instances  in  Aiistophanes  [^Nuhes,  780, 
988]  in  which  the  diphthong  at  of  the  infinitive  is 
elided.) 

2.  V  is  never  elided. 

3.  r  is  vei7  i-arely  elided  when  it  is  the  termination 
of  the  dative  singular  ;  and  never  when  it  is  the  ter- 
mination of  the  dative  plui-al,  or  of  the  nominative  or 
accusati'/e  of  a  noun,  or  in  the  words  r/,  ore,  irtpt. 

4.  The  final  syllable  of  oi/xoi  is  sometimes  elided 
before  a;c> 


GREEK   IAMBIC   VERSE.  3 

III.  Hiatus. 

1.  Vowels  that  cannot  be  elided  must  not  be  left 
open  at  the  end  of  a  word  before  a  vowel. 

2.  Exceptions  to  this  rule  ai'e  r/,  on,  Trtpi,  iZ, 

IV.  Crasis. 

1.  Koi,  roi,  and  the  definite  article,  are  combined 
with  the  initial  vowels  of  succeeding  words  according 
(in  most  instances)  to  the  ordinary  laws  of  contrac- 
tion ;  aiid  the  instances  where  they  deviate  from  these 
should  be  learned  from  a  good  Greek  grammar. 

2.  iyijila  for  tyw  ol^a,  and  fiovoTi  for  fiot  ttrA,  are 
doubtful  examples  of  crasis,  of  which  the  former 
should  probably  be  referred  to  Synecphonesis,  and  the 
latter  to  Prodelision. 

V.  Synecphonesis. 

1.  A  long  vowel  or  diphthong  at  the  end  of  a  word 
sometimes  is  combined  with  a  succeeding  vowel  or 
diphthong  into  one  syllable  without  a  formal  crasis. 
The  principal  instances  are  T/,  /xj),  kiru,  iyw,  before  ov  : 
fii)  and  xpJ?  before  elcivai :  iyw  befoi*e  el  fit, 

2.  A  rare  instance,  jjit)  aCiKtivy  occui'S  in  Eur. 
Hipp,  997. 

3.  To  this  should  also  pi*obably  be  referred  the 
coalition  lyio  oJca. 

VI.  Prodelision. 

1.  A  long  vowel  or  diphthong  at  the  end  of  a 
word  very  frequently  elides  a  succeeding  short  vowel. 

2.  The  short  vowel  thus  elided  is,  with  very  few 
exceptions,  the  e  of  the  syllabic  augment,  or  of  ei'  or 
ini  and  words  compounded  with  them,  or  of  zyw.

4  EXERCISES   IN    THE   COMPOSITION    OF 

yil.  Synizesis. 

1.  Two  syllables  in  the  same  word  are  sometimes 
combined  without  a  formal  contraction. 

2.  The  mast  common  instiinces  are  genitives  in  no 
and  €0)Q  :  and  all  cases  of  Beoq,  Less  common  are 
genitives  in  viov  and  voiy,  as  ^Epiyvuv,  ivoly;  and  ta, 
as  a\\*  £0. 

Language. 

The  dialect  of  the  Greek  Tragedians  is  the  Middle 
Attic ;  so  tliat  in  Greek  Iambic  composition  the  aug- 
ment must  not  Ije  omitted,  except  in  long  narrative 
speeches  which  partake  of  an  Epic  chai-acter :  all  con- 
tracteil  forms  of  verbs  must  l^e  ased :  and  frtr  be  pre-

Syntax. 

1.  The  imperative  is  used  idiomatically  in  relative 
clauses  follo^^ng  a  question,  as  if  attracted  to  the  im- 
perative which  follows.  Such  questions  are  generally 
introduced  by  ol<r0a,  as  oltrO*  oZr  o  cpaaov^  Ilec,  225, 
and  oiaBa  vvv  fx  fxoL  yiviaOtOy  I.  T,  1204.

2.  The  infinitive  is  used — 

(L)  In  prayei-s,  with  ellipse  of  toe,  curt^  or  tv- 

(ii.)  With  the  aii-icle  to  to  express  a  consequence. 

3.  The  aorist  participle  is  used  with  i^u)  as  equiva- 
lent to  a  perfect. 

4.  Cei-tain  special  phi-ases  for  the  use  of  preposi- 
tions should  be  remarked  and  remembered ;  as, 

(i.)  afi(j)\^  iiQf  U-j  irpoQy  with  nouns  used  ad- 
verbially ;  e.g.  ufi(fi  rapl^ei,  *  in  teiTor  * ;

5.  A  genitive  of  relation  follows  adjectives  (gene- 
rally verbal)  compoiuided  with  a  privative,  where  part 
of  such  adjective  is  so  connected  with  the  following 
genitive  as  to  have  the  appeai'ance  of  governing  it ;  e.g. 

iiiroirToc  ofifiarioyy  '  out  of  sight.' 
aOiKTOQ  TrolfivTjCy  *  untouched  by  the  flock.' 
aOiKTos  ^vpov,  *  unshaven.'

GBBBK   UMBIC   TERSE. 


PART     I. 

Exercise  1  (a). 

Two  voices  ai'e  there  :  one  is  of  the  sea, 
One  of  the  mountains  ;  each  a  mighty  voice  : 
In  both  from  age  to  age  thou  didst  rejoice, 
They  were  thy  chosen  music,  Liberty. 

At  the  first  survey  of  a  passage  of  English  poetry 
which  has  to  be  rendered  into  Greek  Iambic  vei'se,  we 
natui'ally  look  for  some  words  or  phmses  upon  which 
to  build  the  framework  of  our  translation.  For  these 
we  must  di'aw  upon  our  memory  of  Gi-eek  dnimatists, 
and  select  some  expressions  that  will  suit  the  English, 
and  guide  us  as  to  the  arrangement  of  the  lines.  The 
four  lines  which  are  here  proposed  for  translation 
present  no  very  striking  opportimities  of  this  kind; 
but  the  words  *  from  age  to  age  '  natui-ally  suggest  t6v 
IC  aiijiyoQ  •)Q)6yoyj  and  for  '  Lil)erty '  we  shall  of  neces- 
sity put  TovXivQtpoy,  which  will  find  its  most  appro- 
priate place  at  the  end  of  the  fourth  line.  The  fii-st 
two  lines  present  no  sjKJcial  difficulty,  only  we  must 
observe  that  *  each  '  of  two  things  is  not  e/caoroc,  but 
tKCLTipoQ,  and  that,  as  SaXaacra  is  a  word  better  adapted 
for  the  former  than  the  latter  half  of  a  line,  it  will  be 
as  well  to  invert  the  order  of  the  two  sentences  *  one 
is  of  the  sea,  one  of  the  mountains.' 

Some  such  process  as  the  above  should  be  adopted 
with  all  passages  for  translation.

C*.  Two  such  I  saw,  what  time  the  laboured  ox 
In  his  loose  traces  from  the  furrow  came, 
Aud  the  swmked  hedger  at  his  supper  sat ; 
I  saw  them  under  a  gi-een  mantling  vine 
That  ci-awls  along  the  side  of  yon  small  hill, 
Plucking  ripe  clusters  from  the  tender  shoots  : 
Their  i)ort  was  moi'e  than  luiman  as  they  stood  ; 
I  took  it  for  a  fairy  vision 
Of  some  gay  creatures  of  the  clement, 
That  in  the  coloui-s  of  the  i-ainbow  live, 
And  play  i*  the  plighted  clouds.  I  was  awe-struck, 
And  as  I  passed,  I  woi^shipped.    If  those  you  seek, 
It  wei-e  a  journey  like  the  psith  to  heaven 
To  lielp  you  find  them.  Milton.

To  vary  from  the  kindly  i-ace  of  men, 
Or  pass  beyond  the  goal  of  ordinance, 
Whei-e  all  should  pause,  as  is  most  meet  for  aU  ?

A  glimpse  of  that  fair  world  where  I  was  born. 
Once  moi-e  the  old  mysterious  glimmer  steals 
From  thy  pure  brows,  jind  fi-om  thy  shoulders  pure 
And  bosom  beating  with  a  heai-t  renewed.

Thy  sweet  eyes  brighten  slowly  close  to  mine 
Ere  yet  they  blind  the  stars,  and  the  wild  team 
Which  love  thee,  yearning  for  thy  yoke  arise 
And  shake  the  darkness  from  theii*  loosened  manes. 
And  beat  the  twilight  into  flakes  of  fire.

The  prince  will,  in  the  perfectness  of  time, 
Cast  off  his  followers ;  and  their  memory 
Shall  as  a  pattern  or  a  measure  live, 
By  which  his  grace  must  mete  the  lives  of  others ; 
Turning  past  evils  to  advantages.

Than  in  youi*  late  i-eproofs,  not  of  her,  but 
Those  crimes  that  made  hei-  woi-thy  of  reproof. 
The  most  remarkable  point  in  which  kings  differ 
From  private  men,  is  that  they  not  alone 
Stand  bound  to  be  in  themselves  innocent, 
But  that  all  such  as  are  allied  to  them 
In  nearness  or  dependence,  by  their  care 
Should  be  free  fi'om  suspicion  of  all  crime.

Of  her  lost  plea.sui-es  you  remove  the  example 
From  othere  of  the  like  licentiousness  : 
Then,  when  'tis  known  that  your  severity 
Extended  to  your  mother,  who  dares  hope  for 
The  least  indulgence  or  connivance  in 
The  easiest  slips  that  may  pix)ve  dangerous

Like  a  Numidian  lion,  by  the  cunning 
Of  the  despoi-ate  huntsman  taken  in  a  toil 
And  foix^d  into  a  spacious  csx^e^  he  walks 
About  his  chamber  ;  we  might  hear  him  gnash 
His  teetli  in  I'age,  which  opened,  hollow  gi-ojtns 
And  murmurs  issued  from  his  lips,  like  ^vinds 
Imprisoned  in  the  caverns  of  the  earth 
Striving  for  liberty  ;  and  sometimes  throwing 
His  body  on  his  bed,  then  on  the  ground, 
And  \nth  such  violence,  that  we  more  than  feared. 
And  still  do,  if  the  tempest  of  his  pjissions 
By  your  wisdom  be  not  laid,  he  will  commit 
Some  outrage  on  himself.  Massimjer.

And  when  the  dead  by  cruel  tyrant's  spite 
Lie  out  to  ravenous  bii*ds  and  beasts  exposed. 
His  yearnful  heart  pitying  that  wretched  sight 
In  seemly  graves  their  weaiy  flesh  enclosed. 

And  strewed  mth  dainty  flowers  the  lowly  hearse; 

Then  all  alone  the  last  words  did  rehearse. 
Bidding  them  softly  sleep  in  his  sad  sighing  verse. 
So  once  that  royal  maid  fierce  Thebes  beguiled. 
Though  wilful  Creon  proudly  did  forbid  her. 
Her  brother,  from  his  home  and  tomb  exiled 
(While  willing  night  in  darkness  safely  hid  her), 

She  lowly  laid  in  eai'th's  all-covering  shade  : 

Her  dainty  hands  (not  used  to  such  a  trade) 
She  with  a  mattock  toils,  and  with  a  weary  spade.

The  lesson  of  thy  own  eternity.

How  on  the  faltering  footsteps  of  decay 
Youth  presses— ever  gay  and  beautiful  youth 
In  all  its  beautiful  forms.     These  lofty  trees 
Wave  not  less  proudly  that  their  ancestors 
Moulder  beneath  them.     Oh  !  there  is  not  lost 
One  of  earth's  charms  :  upon  her  bosom  yet,

Beneath  your  leafy  gloom,  ye  wa\'ing  boughs 
Of  this  old,  shady,  consecrated  gi*ove, 
As  in  the  goddess'  silent  sanctuaiy, 
With  the  same  shudd'ring  feeling  forth  I  step 
Afl  when  I  trod  it  first,  nor  ever  here 
Doth  my  unquiet  spii'it  feel  at  home. 
Long  as  the  mighty  will,  to  which  I  bow, 
Hath  kept  me  hei-e  concealed,  still,  as  at  first, 
I  feel  myself  a  stranger.     For  the  sea 
Doth  sever  me,  alas  !  from  those  I  love. 
And  day  by  day  upon  the  shore  I  stand, 
My  soul  still  seeking  for  the  land  of  Greece  : 
But  to  my  sighs  the  hollow-sounding  waves 
Bring,  save  theii'  own  hoarse  murmurs,  no  reply. 

Stoanwick  (from  Goethe),

And  now  I  will  unclasp  a  secret  hook, 
And  to  your  quick-conceiving  discontents 
I'll  read  you  matter  deep  and  dangerous, 
As  full  of  peril  and  adventurous  spirit 
As  to  o'erwalk  a  cun-ent  roaring  loud 
On  the  unsteadfast  footing  of  a  spear. 

Hotspur,     If  he  fall  in,  good  night !  or  sink  or  swim  :

So  honour  cross  it  from  the  north  to  south. 
And  let  them  grapple  :  0  the  blood  more  stii-a

Till  thus  the  Ablxjt's  doom  was  given, 

Raising  his  sightless  bills  to  heaven : —

Sinful  brother,  part  in  peace  !  *  Scott,

Of  eveiy  line  and  trick  in  his  sweet  favour :

more  u-scful  for  domestic  purposes  in  all  rauks  short  of  those  served  by 
professed  cooks.  '1  be  receipts  are  numcnyus  and  precise,  the  explana-

NATURE: 

AN  ILLUSTRATED  JOURNAL  OF  SCIENCE. 

Nature  expounds  in  a  popular  and  yet  authentic 
manner,  the  Grand  Results  of  Scientific  Research 
discussing  the  most  recent  scientific  discoveries,  and 
pointing  out  the  bearing  of  Science  upon  civilisation 
and  progress,  and  its  claims  to  a  more  general  recog- 
nition,  as  well  as  to  a  higher  place  in  the  educational 
system  of  the  country. 

It  contains  original  articles  on  all  subjects  within  the 
domain  of  Science;  Reviews  setting  forth  the  nature  and 
value  of  recent  Scientific  Works;  Correspondence 
Columns,  forming  a  medium  of  Scientific  discussion  and 
of  intercommunication  among  the  most  distinguished 
men  of  Science ;  Serial  Columns,  giving  the  gist  of  the 
most  important  papers  appearing  in  Scientific  Journals, 
both  Home  and  Foreign;  Transactions  of  the  prin- 
cipal  Scientific  Societies  and  Academies  of  the  World 
Notes,  &C.  ' 

In  Schools  where  Science  is  included  in  the  regular 
course  of  studies,  this  paper  will  be  most  acceptable,  as 
It  tells  what  is  doing  in  Science  all  over  the  worid,  is 
popular  without  lowering  the  standard  of  Science,  and  by 
It  a  vast  amount  of  information  is  brought  within  a  small 
compass,  and  students  are  directed  to  the  best  sources 
for  what  they  need.  The  various  questions  connected 
with  Science  teaching  in  schools  are  also  fully  discussed, 
and  the  best  methods  of  teaching  are  indicated
